McNamees attitude 0 Posted May 22, 2009 David Lucas from Leeds has been released. Do you think he''d be worth a go? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjwc22 0 Posted May 22, 2009 To be honest I know nothing about him but would he bring anything different to the team than Nelson? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McNamees attitude 0 Posted May 22, 2009 He used to play for Wednesday and Preston and was class there but a bit injury prone. If he can keep fit he''s a much better goalie than Nelson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Chirp 0 Posted May 22, 2009 we need someone better than lucas... I don''t rate him. andy marshall as back up to rudd would be a better option... IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whoareyou? 0 Posted May 22, 2009 I do agree with the idea of having a decent experienced keeper but my choice would be Dean Kiely if West Brom release him! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Shuck 183 Posted May 22, 2009 Leeds'' weak point has been keeper for the last couple of seasons-and probably why they didn''t go up automatically this time around.Lucas might have been a good option a few years ago, but not now. He never displaced Ankergran at Leeds and if he couldn''t do that and they, a fellow League 1 club, have released him, then he''s not good enough for us IMHO.I note the deafening silence coming from the club -usual for this time of year-I do wonder if, following Gunn''s appoinment and the departures of Doncaster and Munby, if the politbureau who are left aren''t now hoping for a sleepy couple of months or so, before making a few desperate signings come late July. Back to the keeper situation, I am thinking Nelson will start the season with Rudd on the bench, and that its unlikely the club have a new keeper as one of the incoming priorities.Jonathan Douglas would be a good shout though, someone to play in front of the back four and give a little extra protection and presence. With Spillane and Doc as the first choice central defenders (Spillanes best position is right back, we wasted Kents at right back and I don''t want Spillane pushed out there for the same reasons) and someone like Douglas in front of them, thats a start, a modest one, but a start.

Shaun Tilly Lace 0 Posted May 22, 2009 Let''s give our wunderkind (apologies to all you NCFC anoraks, but I can''t remember his name) a go, as we should have done with Joe Lewis. Buying another goalie is an unnecessary distraction and a waste of precious resources at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chunky Norwich 0 Posted May 22, 2009 I assume you are referring to Declan Rudd but by all accounts, Jed Steer is a bit of all right as well. As were Cave-Brown, Henderson, Jarvis x 2, Coote etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Bump 0 Posted May 22, 2009 Mark Tyler for me..I really hope we don''t start the season with Nelson, I don''t rate him at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Man-E-Faces 0 Posted May 22, 2009 I agree with the lads who said Mark Tyler from Peterborough. He would come in a flash, Norwich born and bred and is surplus to requirements. Plenty of experience at our level. Get him in!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charlies dad 0 Posted May 22, 2009 Rudd is quite good enough, amd cheaper than flapper Marshall. Give him a go. He also kicks the ball a lot further than the deserting rat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
West Ham Canary 0 Posted May 22, 2009 If West Brom release Kiely (which i dont think they will) go for him.Otherwise Ian Walker is available on a free transfer! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viva_Marc_Libbra 0 Posted May 23, 2009 How can everyone have a go at Nelson when he hasn''t been given a go yet, i think him and Rudd should fight it out for top spot, they''re both hungry proper competition will do them good. Having another keeper on our wage bill is a unnesscery cost in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But then again, lets give them all a chance like we did all those loan players who fucked us up, using foresight is better than bloody hindsight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
